NAV 2013 Dialogs does not respect width

Hi

It is my experience is that the DIALOG.OPEN function does not respect the use of pound signs, to set the initial width of the dialog.

The width is solely, determined by the length of the first string used.

These two commands produce a dialog of the same width.
StatusDialog.OPEN('#1###########################', tcPleaseWait);
StatusDialog.OPEN('#1', tcPleaseWait);

So, if a text variable is used, and updated with a text longer than the initial text - then the second text is truncated with dots, like "Some tex..."

Seems like a bug to me, can anyone confirm this?

I'm using 7.0.33781.0

    Actually it is better in 2013 than it was in 2009. In 2009 they were really small and 2013 is wider. But still not as in classic.

    NAV 2013 is great overall :thumbsup: , but some things like the Dialog width are really really annoying! :thumbsdown:
